New 07-08 NHL jerseys pic thread-- *ALL* 30 TEAMS NOW INSIDE- CHECK THE FIRST POST!Description of 2007-2008 Player Worn Jerseys

Every team will be switching to the new RBK EDGE jersey. Many teams will use the opportunity for an entire logo/jersey overhaul. The rest will only debut slight modifications. There will be no third jerseys during the 2007-2008 NHL hockey season. Home teams will remain in the dark jersey.

The RBK EDGE jersey fits anatomically with proper room given for protective equipment. This is possible by use of stretch-mesh under the arms and 4-way stretch pique used to give players more mobility then the current jerseys while cutting down on drag by 9% and making it 14% lighter.

The new Rbk Edge uniform system has new technology that makes it cutting edge. The jerseys and socks have BEAD AWAY technology that repeals 76% more moisture than the current jersey. The PLAYDRY system allows for more comfort, breathable, and temperature control up to a ten degree difference than older design.

The Classic (550) Replica jersey, will be available next year in the same designs as this year, but in Dark (Home) version only. Teams that will change their uniforms will not make this jersey available in the new design... only in this year's design. The price for these jerseys should remain under $90 USD.

The new Premier Replica Jersey will retail for approx. $110 USD, however this jersey will no longer come with screen printed crests as originally feared. Instead, it will include a full twill and embroidered front crest and screen print on twill sewn shoulder crests. This jersey will be offered in both Home and Away versions.

The new RBK EDGE Authentic Jersey will not retail at the current $345 USD price for the 2007 All-Star Jersey. In 2007-2008 you will be able to pick up a RBK EDGE Authentic Jersey for around $250 USD.

The Teams

Anaheim Ducks

Atlanta Thrashers

Boston Bruins

The Bruins will have separate shoulder logos for home and away. Two secondary logos obviously means they can have more variety for gear like shirts and hats. Now the name of the team is emphasized to the home fans, with the name of the city emphasized to the road fans. Pretty smart.

Buffalo Sabres

Calgary Flames

Carolina Hurricanes

Chicago Blackhawks

Colorado Avalanche

Nashville gets an anniversary patch:

New Jersey Devils

New York Islanders

New York Rangers

Ottawa Senators

Philadelphia Flyers

Phoenix Coyotes

Pittsburgh Penguins

The patch on the right shoulder represents Pittsburgh being founded 250 years ago:

San Jose Sharks

Logo on their pants:

St. Louis Blues

Tampa Bay Lightning

Phil Esposito takes credit for the underarm striping. He thought it would be neat when a player raises his arms after scoring to see stripes there. You get to make those kind of decisions when you're the owner.

Toronto Maple Leafs

Vancouver Canucks

Notice the logo is different colors between the home and away jerseys:

The Caps logo is OK, but these new RBK jerseys in general are going to suck. The design is hideous. I hope there's a major fan revolt (i.e. no merchandise sales) and they go back to classic sweaters. I've finally found my reason to hate Bettman.

the Caps logo is fine but I hate the jersey like, a lot. a lot a lot a lot a lot.
I have a bad feeling that the NHL is moving towards a jersey that is the same for every team with the only differences being the logos and shoulder patches.

If that's true I've got a small fortune hanging up in my closet. The Caps jersey is hideous. I wouldn't wear it to a dogfight.

I thought everybody was excited about the new RBK jerseys when they were announced. Maybe I just got the wrong impression. I think the basic design of it sucks, so the colors and logos aren't going to help much.

Columbus as well, from what I hear. They will show off their new unis at the draft.

Sens are going to bag the original logo that appears on the current white sweater and go with the centurion crest from the red sweater as their main logo. Rumor also had it that the Toronto leaf was going to change a bit.

You know, I never even thought of Blue Jackets as in Union soldiers (just blue yellow jackets), I guess it's the same deal as the Augusta Green Jacket (green yellow jacket v. golf champion) baseball team....

So columbus is going to come play southern teams wearing a shoulder patch with a union army cap?

I wonder how well, this would go over on the shoulder of a Southern team:

PR nightmare in the making.

I thought for a while that it would be cool if the Thrashers were named instead the Georgia Generals, with Stone Mountain serving as inspiration for the logo (Dafoe's last mask had something like this on it, IIRC). When Thrasher magazine raised the possibility of a lawsuit against Turner for naming the club the Thrashers, I thought it was a possible route, seeing as how Ted's a WBTS buff.

No doubt the Georgia Generals would have more scrutiny and opposition than the Columbus Blue Jackets. That team should've been named the Explorers, anyway.

Dmatos, take a closer look at that green bug thing the CBJ used to have. He's wearing a keppy and a Union jacket. The name is for the soldier and manufacturing of coats in Columbus; the bug is just a play-on-words a la GreenJackets.
